Truman Token - Worth Anything?

[CoinNoob]

Hello all,

I have never posted here before, so bear with me. I came across a coin while going through some of my old stuff. I found this coin about 13 years ago while walking through the yard of a rental house my parents occupied for a short time in Riggins, ID. It's pretty obvious that it's a Truman election token, but I am just curious how many were made, how many are still around, do they have any value? This one definitely shows wear/tear from being exposed to the elements.

Yep, pretty cool token. I read they were sold in sets back in the 40's or so. Had to look them up because I found another from the set in the small city yard I've been hunting. Mine is John Tyler, the 10th president. Like lonewolf said, they're worth 2 to 5 dollars. What will you give me for mine, Pirate?
